How to consume english pumpkin seeds | pistachio nuts without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of pumpkin seeds and pistachio nuts to prevent a significant rise in glucose levels.

Balance with Protein and Healthy Fats

Pair pumpkin seeds and pistachio nuts with a source of lean protein or healthy fats, such as a small piece of grilled chicken or avocado, to slow down glucose absorption.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich vegetables, like broccoli or spinach, to your meals to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If including grains in your meal, opt for those like quinoa or barley, which have a moderate impact on glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming these snacks to aid in digestion and overall blood sugar management.

Monitor Snack Timing

Consume seeds and nuts as a snack between meals rather than as part of a carbohydrate-heavy meal to prevent an additional glucose spike.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming seeds and nuts to help manage blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to enhance digestion and improve the body's response to glucose.

Incorporate Low-Impact Fruits

Pair seeds and nuts with fruits like cherries or apples, which have a minimal effect on blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring
